yeah Kipnis got robbed, if anything he should have made it over perez(if a 2nd Indian was to go), hell Pestano should have made it over perez. But once Kinsler didnt get voted to start, there was no way Washinton's own guy wouldnt get in. Not saying Kinsler wasnt worthy. Just another snub in a long list of players who deserve to go (to a meaningless, Sorry Bud but it is) game.

As great as Kip has been, you can make a strong case that he's the 3rd best 2Bman in the league to this point.

Seeing as there's only 2 2Bmen on the roster, then that's why he misses out.

Cano is the runaway best 2B in the league and then you could call it a toss up between Kip and Kinsler - Kip has him beat on HR (11 to 9) and SB (20 to 15), but Kinsler has Kip beat on doubles (26 to 7) and OPS (.786 to .760).

Would've loved to see him get the recognition for a great first half but, as a Tribe fan, I'm happier that the kid's gonna be getting some time off.

Does anyone really care about the All-Star Game? I haven't watched a full one since I was a kid. I'd rather see Asdrubal get a few extra days of rest then play and possibly get injured in a meaningless game. God forbid someone like Clayton Kershaw tears his elbow up in that game, it would completely destroy the hopes of the fans and that team and for what?

Not to mention getting named to these meaningless games only go to make it harder for us to keep/re-sign them to a contract.

My problem is adam dunn as a DH made it over Kip. I cant check at the moment, But I could swear that means the AL is taking 3 DH's and only 2 2b.
